Binder Check

Ok, guys and gals, periods 3-6 will have binder checks next week! This is what I want to see:

A BINDER (3 rings, 1.5 inches thick or more)

DIVIDERS (Notes, Tests, Handouts, Vocab, and Responses. Post-it notes as your dividers WILL NOT work. I want the real deal.)
NEATNESS (No papers in side pockets, and the binder should ONLY include English class notes, work, items, etc. If you have reading with me, too, you can create a 6th section just for reading. I am OK with that.)
COVER PAGE (Your first page should be inviting. Have your name, the class name, the period, and some cool graphic).
NOTES (Any notes from the blog or class lectures should be included.)
VOCAB (Your vocab notes, tests, corrections, Words of the Day, should all be in this section. If you like the vocab journal idea, just put the actual journal in this section).
HANDOUTS (All handouts, short stories, etc., should be here. For AP, these should include ALL summer handouts, too.)
RESPONSES (These include classwork, homework, essay responses, etc. These DO NOT include anything dealing with VOCAB).
TESTS (Pretty self explanatory. Again, VOCAB tests go in the VOCAB section).
BRING IT! (This is the most important part - you MUST bring your binder everyday).

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a comment. Periods 3 & 5 will have their checks this upcoming week). Periods 2 & 4 will have theirs the following week. This should be the easiest A you earn all quarter, so please get it right.

Love you all!
